This film has already been yanked from all of my local theaters. I want to see the crappy race scene and was going to go to the theater today. Anyone have a link to the free stream?

I watched about 30 minutes of it last night. It really surprises me that they could F this up that badly. To start with, the cast is NOT bad at all and is filled with some really actually good actors. I don't necessarily care for Travolta's over the top hammy acting style as of late (his early stuff was great) but he actually did pretty decent in the part. But you have a good supporting cast as well, Matthew Modine, James Remer, Tom Sizemore and especially Jordi Molla. The story is strong too, based on a true story with some Hollywood BS thrown in for more drama. Where it failed I think was the directing, the actors seems lost at times. The editing was HORRID - choppy, rushed and thrown together, 100% lack of character buy in and build up and the lack of finances showed in set design, location, etc. In the end the lack of funding, poor editing and directing KILLED this movie. Just simply horrible. Too bad. It could have been done properly if Scot Free pictures would have retained it and ran with the production.

I managed to squeeze this film into my Thanksgiving morning before the football fun begins and going in with extremely low expectations I have to say that I enjoyed it. John Travolta was well cast for this role and did a good job and probably saved the movie from being a complete train wreck. Based on reviews here I was expecting maybe ten minutes of boat action but was glad to see quite a bit more than that. Of course we are going to notice all of the inaccuracies but the average person will not. Speaking of inaccuracies is that a Donzi running with the little Bertram near the beginning before "Ben" even started building boats? The "rough water" racing sequence was every bit as ridiculous as already stated! All in all for what is essentially a direct to video film, the theater run near me lasted for all of one week, it was pretty decent. Did anyone else think the lawyer looked like Sonny Crockett? I liked this film but, again, I went in with very low expectations and I watched it for free.
